Ridin’ that train Bull . . .

Energy-drink maker Red Bull GmbH’s push into cola sales is facing its first major setback in Germany, where local lawmakers began pulling Red Bull Simply Cola off shelves after a study found the drink contains trace elements of cocaine.
...In a statement issued Monday, Red Bull, based near Salzburg, Austria, said “decocainized coca leaf extracts” like those contained in Red Bull Simply Cola are permitted under U.S. and European drug laws. “Use of the extract is regarded in the U.S. and Europe as harmless and nonimpairing.”
...About 100,000 liters of the cola would need to be consumed to be harmful,... “There is no danger” from Red Bull Simply Cola, said Bernhard Kuehnle, head of the food-safety department at the federal ministry for consumer protection. “But that has nothing to do with it being allowed or forbidden."
